Benefits of Attending

Since its launch in 2003 this event has grown to be the leading platform to present and discuss the latest developments in European State aid control. As it has been the case in previous years, private legal practitioners, economists, academics and industry representatives will have the opportunity to benefit from exchanging their views on the rules that will guide European State aid control for the coming years.

The high quality of the presentations as well as the analyses provided by our active participants guarantee a professional update on the most important issues.

Furthermore the prestigious Bibliothèque Solvay - located in Parc Léopold right next to the European Parliament - serves as an excellent venue to get in touch with the decision makers of tomorrow’s State aid law. Overall we expect to welcome delegates from all of the European Union’s 27 Member States – and beyond.
